Phillies Sign Slugging Outfielder Adolis García, Setting the Stage for Nick Castellanos’ Exit

The Phillies signed Adolis García to strengthen right field defense and add power hitting on a one-year, $10 million deal after his recent offensive decline, sources said.

  • On Monday, the Philadelphia Phillies finalized a one-year, $10 million contract with outfielder Adolis García for the 2026 season, Francys Romero first reported pending a physical as confirmed by ESPN and The Dallas Morning News.
  • The Phillies again opted for a lower-cost, corner-outfield signing, with Adolis Garc�a following Max Kepler's one-year, $10 million deal signed Dec. 19, 2024.
  • Despite recent declines, Garc�a struggled in 2025 with a.227/.271/.394 line, 19 homers, 75 RBIs, but posted a 1.108 OPS and eight homers in the 2023 postseason.
  • With García likely in right field, the Phillies expect to trade or release Nick Castellanos, starting right fielder , while Brandon Marsh remains under club control and Justin Crawford, top prospect, factors into spring plans.
  • With Citizens Bank Park favoring power, the signing arrives less than a month after the Rangers non-tendered Adolis García as the Philadelphia Phillies' outfield ranked tied for 20th in fWAR in 2025.
